Bellevue Hospital Center haunting reports

Bellevue Hospital Center, founded in 1736 and home to one of the nation's oldest psychiatric facilities, has long been the subject of local ghost lore. Staff, patients, and visitors have reported unexplained noises, apparitions, and other paranormal claims tied to older wards and the hospital's long medical history. These accounts have appeared in newspapers, books on hauntings, and oral histories. Such reports are anecdotal and remain disputed rather than scientifically verified.
